The Fibromyalgia Perplex

I have been following The Fibromyalgia Perplex, a collection of scientific and research based professionals that share and debate the topic of Fibromyalgia. Perplex means to think logically and decisively about a topic. The Fibromyalgia Perplex blog has been visibly absent due to a "false start". This blog is now back again and the rules for posting are quite restrictive:

About comments. We want this blog to be about research and discussions concerning fibromyalgia. To post to this blog you should be a published author, have other academic credentials, or would be welcomed as a discussant in an academic journal. We make these somewhat arbitrary rules to try to exclude the general, non-scientific public. We welcome comments by all scientists and social scientists, not just those who are physicians. This blog is moderated, meaning that the editors decide what will appear. In general, we will not censor on-topic scientific posts provided authors meet the above guidelines. If you don’t fit our guidelines and think you have something to contribute, send the editors an email at fmperplex@gmail.com. [As a modification, we will accept post from non-profesionals provided they meet certain criteria.]

The Fibromyalgia Perplex blog can actually be quite tedious for people that are not interested in research and the scientific method. But if you are interested in "getting inside" of the heads of scientists, social scientists and researchers, then this blog is for you. In the past, the participants have debated quite vigorously and reading about their thoughts and opinions is quite interesting and frustrating at the same time. It is frustrating when the reader is not in agreement, but does not have the "clearance" to be able to reply and enter into the debate.

So, I put this out here for all of you to participate as observers in the sidelines. To alleviate our frustrations, I welcome all of you to bring the debate here to my Web page so that all of us have a forum to discuss and debate the topics in discussion on The Fibromyalgia Perplex. All I ask is that we all be respectful of each other and enter into this discussion/debate in good faith. The url for The Fibromyalgia Perplex is http://www.fmperplex.com/ Meanwhile, enjoy the lively discussion and debate and I look forward to sharing our thoughts and experience related to this blog (The Fibromyalgia Perplex)!! Blessings to all of you!

About Me

I live in beautiful Inscription Canyon, an area of Williamson Valley that lies northwest of the mountain town of Prescott, Arizona. My husband, Sid, and my kitty, Wills, are enjoying life with me. I no longer spend as much time gardening since my yard is natural and cared for by Mother Nature. I make sure the wild birds have plenty of food and I like to watch the comings and goings of all the wildlife in the area. I have started my second career as an Independent Brand Partner and good news liason in the skin care industry with Nerium International, an anti-aging skin care company. I am retired from my career as an RN; my specialty was quality improvement and patient safety -- helping teams design safer processes to make sure errors aren't made and patients stay safe. I have a bachelors degree in nursing from Purdue University and a masters in organizational management from University of Phoenix. I am an avid reader; Smithsonian magazine and Psychology Today are two of my favorite publications. I have had Fibromyalgia for the past 21 years, but remain hopeful and enthusiastic about life!
